The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus was discovered after getting drunk at a party in Los Angeles, California
Born in Hollywood Florida, and the oldest of two children. Norman Reedus was later raised in Los Angeles, California despite living in Japan, Span and the UK. One of his first jobs out of high school was working at a Harley Davidson shop in Venice, California and he created his own artwork to various shows as a painter, photographer, sculptor and video artist.
With the return of The Walking Dead on Sunday, Norman Reedus stopped by the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night to promote the new season of zombie drama. It’s a little known fact that Norman Reedus was discovered at a party in Los Angeles while working at a Harley Davidson shop. However, as the story actually goes, Reedus had just been fired from a job he previously had and he decided to drink his pain away. Well, Reedus drank way too much and his drunken yelling attracted casting directors at the party. Initially, he was only asked to be an understudy for one of the main actors of a stage play, but when the guy didn’t show up the night of the premiere, Norman Reedus was thrown on stage.
Since then, he has acted in numerous movies, several web series, done several video game voiceovers, and modeled for various fashion designers most recognizably Prada in the 1990s.
